Houston rises in the AP Poll after dominant wins

The Houston men’s basketball team continues to climb the rankings of the AP poll after extending its winning streak to six this past week.

UH is now No. 6 in the AP poll. The team garnered 1,281 points from voters which is a 126-point increase from last week’s totals.

The Cougars were No. 8 in last Monday’s AP poll.

The Cougars (13-1, 8-1 American Athletic Conference) defeated the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on Wednesday and then traveled to Philadelphia on Saturday to beat the Temple Owls. Both wins were by double-digit margins and wire-to-wire.
